Where did the Hancock come from?

So Jimmy Moore is the CEO of Hancock and Moore and I have not heard of any Mr. Hancock. So where the heck did the Hancock come from?

Close!

Jack Glasheen is the CEO of H&M and Jimmy Moore is his partner. The two of them started up H&M and they both met up while working at Classic Leather.

The "Hancock" is made up. As Jimmy tells it, "I took the inspiration from John Hancock who signed his name on the Declaration of Independence, he was willing to put his name on what he believed in and so do I".

And there you have it....

the mystery is solved. Thank you!

I learned this when I first started reading up on h&m. Shortly thereafter I was in a local retailer and the sales woman was telling me how great the company was and how "hancock and moore were the two guys that started that company". I did all I could to just be polite.
